Baelor's arrow hit the outer most wring of the target.
Derek clapped him on the back, "Good shot. I wish I had done half as well the first time I fired a bow."

Baelor grinned and looked up at Derek. "What if it's windy? How do I aim then?" He put another arrow to the string and fired off another shot, not wasting too much time with aiming so is arm would not give up.

The arrow just clipped the edge of the hay bale.
Derek laughed, "It affects the direction as you would expect. No way to explain the affect, just going to have to gain experience."

"Oh well..." Baelor muttered, continuing to fires arrows at the target, sometimes taking longer with the aim and sometimes giving in to his instincts.

Gregor chose an adjacent target. He put his foot in the stirrup and yanked the cord back until it locked in place. He took a bolt from the quiver and placed it in the groove pushing it back until it was seated in place. Gregor took aim, exhaled slightly then pulled the lever loosing the bolt at the target. Lowering the crossbow he studied the target to see if he hit the mark...

"Oh well..." Baelor muttered, continuing to fires arrows at the target, sometimes taking longer with the aim and sometimes giving in to his instincts. Soon his arm began to cramp, and he found he did better when he aimed, but with both kinds of shots he was hitting the target more and more regularly. Derek nodded impressed.

Gregor shrugged at the result then prepared another bolt. Once again he took aim and loosed.

Aaryn sprinted into the yard, arriving mere moments after his meeting with the Maester.

Ser Derek Looked at Aaryn, and said, "What do you want lad?" "Maester Lymon told me to speak to you about squiring for the tourney." Aaryn said, sounding excited.

Derek nodded, "He told me he was going to mention that idea to you. Are you sure you want the duty?"

"Good. You know the duties of a squire?" Derek asked.

"I think I know most of them." Aaryn replied, hesitantly.
